DONOR ADVISED & DESIGNATED FUNDS

Many of our grants are recommended by donors through their donor advised funds. Donors may recommend annual grants to a nonprofit, according to their current charitable interests. Donors with strong ties to a particular organization often establish a designated fund for its benefit. Neither donor advised nor designated funds accept applications as their grants are donor directed.
